Hi All,

Have a problem, I think MySQL has not built the use DB correctly. (built new system, so had to reinstall). phpMyadmin will connect if no password and user is named in config file, but MySQL refuses connection if these are supplied.

Try using the console client to check if your MySQL installation is correct. If it is, your problem is with PhpMyAdmin, and you should check for help within its docs.

Have checked my.ini and the info is correct. Renamed old my.ini file and tried again, same result, but when I go to the admin in the task bar, this shows MySQL DB has no tables, so the user is not being added, any ideas?

Or maybe the user has no privileges, and thus can't see the tables. Anyway, try using the GRANT command and see if it works.
